In L. Frank Baum's *The Emerald City of Oz*, the story concludes with the resolution of a final, desperate threat to the fairyland. The Nome King, Roquat the Red, furious over the loss of his Magic Belt to Dorothy and Princess Ozma, mobilizes a terrifying army of Whimsies, Growleywogs, and Phanfasms. Determined to conquer the Emerald City, he constructs a secret tunnel beneath the deadly desert to invade Oz. Upon emerging, the invaders initially pose a grave menace, but their aggression is instantly neutralized when they drink from the Water of Oblivion, a forbidden fountain that erases their memories and wickedness, leaving them harmless and confused. The Nome King, refusing to drink, is eventually tossed into the fountain by the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, where he too forgets his malice. With the immediate threat neutralized, Ozma and Glinda the Good realize that traditional defenses like the desert are no longer sufficient against modern airships and tunnels. To ensure the Land of Oz remains a secluded paradise, Glinda casts a powerful spell rendering the entire kingdom invisible to all eyes except those of its inhabitants. This magical concealment guarantees that no future invaders can find or intrude upon the fairyland. The narrative concludes with Dorothy and her friends living happily in their now perfectly protected and invisible kingdom, safe from the rest of the world.
